26 Reviews of Vegan Brownies

I made these brownies with applesauce instead of oil, and in a muffin tin because that's all I had. I also added crushed nuts and crushed pieces of vegan chocolate. I had one before it had cooled all the way, and found it to taste way too floury- I was about to chuck the whole pan. Lucky I'm a bit of a procrastinator, because the next day I had another bite of one, and it was fabulous!!! They're so moist and delicious. They did take awhile to cook, but I didn't keep track of the time. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!!

    I love to bake and although I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian(sorry!)I love this recipe! It's fast and easy to make. I made it for a potluck dinner and everyone raved about them! I forgot the baking powder the first time, but they still turned out fabulous, and I think I even prefer them without. And to make them more 'ready-to-serve' I make them in cupcake form, which makes them a whole lot handier to eat!

    I made these this evening, and they're fantastic!! Gooey, sweet, and so chocolatey! I had all the ingredients at home, and the fact the recipe was egg-free made it all the better! I used only 1/4 cup of oil (no reason, just a genuine error on my part), and the end mixture was reallllly sticky and kinda hard to spread on the pan, but in the end, it turned out great! Thanks pollen!

    you can tell that you replaced butter with oil but no vegan recipe is perfect..and it was nice because my parents think vegan stuff tastes like crap but they actually throughly enjoyed them...thanks

    Now, these are definitely not the best brownies I've ever had... however, I'm giving them the full 5 stars because they are the best vegan brownies I've ever had. They were pretty easy to make, except that I messed up and didn't read the first step well enough and went ahead and mixed all the flour and water. Had to throw that out....yuck. I think I overcooked mine a bit (my oven is wacky) but they're still great- especially with ice cream (or I guess soy ice cream for you vegans). I added a combination of toasted hazelnuts and walnuts because that's what I had in the leftovers department. I am rather embarassed to say that I have been eating these with icecream for the past couple days... eek.

    This is by far the best brownie recipe I have ever made, vegan or otherwise. As a vegan for 7 years now it is hard to find a good recipe for brownies, and this one is a gem. YUMMY!!

    Awesome! These definitely beat any recipe from a vegan cookbook, and believe me, I have them all. I brought them in to work and everyone loved them.

    I used a 7xll pan as the recipe specified but had to bake the brownies more like 45 minutes. They were nowhere near done at 25 minutes. Next time I'll use a 9xl3 pan and get a thinner brownie with less baking time. The flavor was very good and I think it's a great brownie. Thanks!

    Incredible! I made them for my vegan son's birthday and took them to his army base. He loved them! I substituted vegetable shortening for the oil, put them in a muffin tin, and cooked them for only 22 minutes...and they were great! Thanks so much for sharing them.

    Delicious!!! As a few of the others posted, I too needed to bake these a bit longer than stated, about 45 minutes, but they turned out great! I will be baking these again next week for my son's graduation open house!
